Definitions

  • Oil operating temperature & efficiencies are very important to the designers, builders, and user of equipment which employ worm gearing. On a relative basis, a higher percentage efficiency rating for a lubricant results in more power (torque) being transmitted through a subject gearbox. Since more power is being transferred through a piece of equipment using a more efficient lubricant, less power is being wasted to friction or heat. It is desirable for lubricant to be optimized for maximum power throughput and to therefore allow for lower operating temperatures. Lower operating temperatures in gearboxes give rise to several benefits which include: lower energy consumption, longer machine life, and longer seal life. Seal failures are one of the principle reasons for repair and down-time in rotating equipment. A decrease of 10 degrees Celsius of operating temperature can double seal life and therefore decrease overall costs of operation and ownership.
  • a Small Worm Gear Rig measures both dynamic operating temperature and efficiency of power throughput simultaneously.
  • a splash lubricated bronze on steel worm gear set is the gearbox design employed.
  • the subject worm drive gearbox 4.4 cm (75 inch) centerline distance, 20:1 reduction ratio, was mounted in an L-shaped test rig with high precision torque meters on both the input and output shafts of the gearbox to measure power throughput efficiency performance based on control of output torque.
  • the output torque was controlled to 100% of the rated load with a service factor of 1.0.
  • gearbox sump oil temperature was carefully monitored during operation using four thermocouples. National Basic Sensor located at 4921 Carver Avenue in Trevose, Pennsylvania sells J-type thermocouples that are suitable for this rig test.
  • air entrainment is another issue in lubricating oils. All lubricating oil systems contain some air. It can be found in four phases: free air, dissolved air, entrained air and foam. Free air is trapped in a system, such as an air pocket in a hydraulic line. Dissolved air is in solution with the oil and is not visible to the naked eye. Foam is a collection of closely packed bubbles surrounded by thin films of oil that collect on the surface of the oil.
  • Air entrainment is a small amount of air in the form of extremely small bubbles (generally less than 1mm in diameter) dispersed throughout the bulk of the oil. Agitation of lubricating oil with air in equipment, such as bearings, couplings, gears, pumps, and oil return lines, may produce a dispersion of finely divided air bubbles in the oil. If the residence time in the reservoir is too short to allow the air bubbles to rise to the oil surface, a mixture of air and oil will circulate through the lubricating oil system. This may result in an inability to maintain oil pressure (particularly with centrifugal pumps), incomplete oil films in bearings and gears, and poor hydraulic system performance or failure. Air entrainment is treated differently than foam, and is most often a completely separate problem.
  • a partial list of potential effects of air entrainment include: pump cavitation, spongy, erratic operation of hydraulics, loss of precision control; vibrations, oil oxidation, component wear due to reduced lubricant viscosity, equipment shut down when low oil pressure switches trip, "micro-dieseling” due to ignition of the bubble sheath at the high temperatures generated by compressed air bubbles, safety problems in turbines if overspeed devices do not react quickly enough, and loss of head in centrifugal pumps.
  • Antifoamants including silicone additives help produce smaller bubbles in the bulk of the oil. In stagnant systems, the combination of smaller bubbles and greater sheath density can cause serious air entrainment problems. Turbine oil systems with quiescent reservoirs of several thousand gallons may have air entrainment problems with as little as a half a part per million silicone.
  • EP 1 661 921 discloses bimodal lubricating oil compositions comprising a low viscosity base oil and a PAO based predominantly on C10 units. These compositions have a poor low temperature behavior.
  • a lubricant that provides a consistent favorable operating temperature and power efficiency along with air release properties using high viscosities base stock blends.
  • the present invention satisfies this need by providing a novel combination of base stocks that give the desired performance.
  • a novel lubricant formulation is disclosed.
  • a lubricating oil comprising
  • Fig. 1 is a graph illustrating the molecular weight distribution of High viscosities PAO;
  • Fig. 2 is a graph illustrating the improved viscosities losses or improved shear stability as a function of the viscosity of the high viscosity metallocene catalyzed base stocks.
  • Fig. 3 is a graph showing the improved MSWG efficiency of gear oils formulated with high viscosity metallocene catalyzed PAO compared to the commercially available prior art PAO.

  • Fig. 6 is a graph showing the improved pour point of gear oils formulated with high viscosity metallocene catalyzed PAO compared to the commercially available gear oils.
  • this novel discovery is based on wide "bi-modal" and "extreme- modal" blends of oil viscosities which are base stock viscosity differences of at least 200 cSt, preferably at least 250 cSt, and possibly greater than 500 cSt, respectively wherein the high viscosity is at least 300 cSt, and the low viscosity base stock is less than 60 cSt.
  • Kinematic Viscosity is determined by ASTM D-445 method by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer. Viscosity is typically measured in centistokes (cSt, or mm2/s) units.
  • the ISO viscosity classification which is typically cited for industrial lubes of finished lubricants based on viscosities observed at 40°C. Base stock oils used to blend finished oils, are generally described using viscosities observed at 100°C.
  • This "bi-modal" blend of viscosities also provides a temperature benefit by lowering the lubricant temperature in gear testing by approximately 10°C. This temperature drop would provide increased efficiency boosts and extended seal life.
  • the new base stocks are produced according to the method described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,732,389 . These base stocks are known as metallocene catalyzed bases stocks and are described in detail below.

Furthermore, these copolymers have narrow molecular weight distributions and excellent lubricating properties.
  • mPAO is made from the mixed feed LAOs comprising at least two and up to 26 different linear alpha-olefins selected from C3 to C30 linear alpha-olefins.
  • the mixed feed LAO is obtained from an ethylene growth process using an aluminum catalyst or a metallocene catalyst.
  • the growth olefins comprise mostly C6 to C18-LAO. LAOs from other process, such as the SHOP process, can also be used.
  • the alpha-olefin(s) can be chosen from any component from a conventional LAO production facility or from refinery. It can be used together with another LAO available from refinery or chemical plant, including propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, and the like, or with 1-hexene or 1-octene made from dedicated production facility.
  • the alpha-olefins can be chosen from the alpha-olefins produced from Fischer-Trosch synthesis (as reported in U.S. 5,382,739 ).

  • the activated metallocene catalyst can be simple metallocenes, substituted metallocenes or bridged metallocene catalysts activated or promoted by, for instance, methylaluminoxane (MAO) or a non-coordinating anion, such as N,N-dimethylanilinium tetrakis(perfluorophenyl)borate or other equivalent non ⁇ coordinating anion and optionally with co-activators, typically trialkylaluminum compounds.

  • the phrase "at least two alpha-olefins” will be understood to mean “at least two different alpha-olefins” (and similarly "at least three alpha-olefins” means “at least three different alpha-olefins", and so forth).
  • the average carbon number (defined hereinbelow) of said at least two alpha-olefins in said feed is at least 4.1.
  • the amount of ethylene and propylene in said feed is less than 50 wt% individually or preferably less than 50 wt% combined.
